01 · Who Beth works with
Beth lists 5 specialisms and 4 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Beth chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Beth's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Minnesota with over three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address social anxiety, shame, guilt, and personal growth challenges. I have extensive expertise in supporting individuals dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and bipolar disorder.
My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey. I understand that life transitions and emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.
Drawing from years of professional practice, I offer nuanced, empathetic guidance to help clients understand their inner experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and build healthier coping strategies. My goal is to empower individuals to move through difficult emotions with greater self-awareness and strength.
I believe in the inherent capacity of each person to heal and grow, and I'm dedicated to walking alongside my clients with respect, understanding, and genuine care.

03 · How Beth works
These are the clinical methods Beth lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Beth's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Beth runs a session.

04 · What happens next
Beth practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Beth's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Beth at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Beth is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Beth.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
05 · Before you commit
Built from what Beth actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Beth's - Beth has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”
Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.
“With 33 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
